Sacha Jafri is a 44-year-old artist from England. He decided to create the world's largest painting. He asked children to send him pictures showing their true feelings, and he got artwork electronically submitted by children from over 140 countries.

Using the children's ideas as a starting point, he started to paint at the beginning of March last year. He tried to keep the ideas from the children's pictures in his mind. He even included the children's drawings in the artwork.

Jafri used a huge ballroom in a fancy hotel to do this. He worked long hours-often up to 20 hours a day. He hurt his back by bending over so much while he painted so that he had to put it

aside and have a rest for some days in July. It took seven months, over 1 ,000 paintbrushes and 1 ,664 gallons of paint to create the painting which is over 1 ,600 square meters. He set a Guinness World Record for the world's largest painting-roughly the size of four basketball courts.

The artwork called The Journey of Humanity is about connection between people. Jafri hopes that no matter what difficulties people meet, it will help bring the world together and unite as one to fight against them. Since Jafri's goal was to raise money to help children, he planned to cut it up into smaller sections, so he could sell them for charity.

Jafri hoped that by selling the sections separately, he could raise $30 million. But when the auction （拍卖）ended on March 22,2021, Jafri did much better than that. And he didn't have to split up the pieces. The whole artwork was sold for $62 million. That's the fourth highest price ever paid for a painting by a living artist. The buyer plans to build a special building to show the artwork off and let more people appreciate it.

24. Why did Jafri ask the kids from different countries for their pictures?

A. To sell them to raise money for his painting.

B. To collect their ideas to be used in his painting.

C. To make his painting the world's largest one.

D. To show the worldwide influence of his painting.

25. When did Jafri finish his painting?

A. Last July.       B. Last August.

C. Last September.      D. In March ,2021.

26. What is the theme of Jafri's The Journey of Humanity?

A. The protection of children.    B. The development  of charity.

C. The appreciation of different arts.  D. The partnership between people.

27. How did Jafri feel about the outcome of the auction about his painting?

A. It's unexpected.      B. It's doubtful.

C. It's discouraging.     D. It's worrying.

C

Many kinds of birds migrate （迁徙）north in the spring and south in the fall, with most flying at night, looking for food and better conditions. But many birds die along the way. Some of these deaths are the result of human actions, such as hunting, or clearing huge areas of land that used to be used by migrating birds. Most importantly, experts say that as many as one billion birds may die every year in the US alone as a result of flying into buildings. Other tall structures, such as power lines and cell towers also lead to many bird deaths.

Now people in Philadelphia are working to remove at least one of the ways that migrating birds die. Birds can get disoriented by the lights and glass of buildings along their migration paths, causing them to strike buildings or windows. Buildings are a special challenge for migrating birds. The windows can reflect things like the sky or tree branches, causing birds to fly directly into the glass. Many birds migrate at night. Bright city lights add another layer of difficulty, confusing birds that might normally be guided by the stars.

Now the city has begun a program called Lights Out Philly, which requires building owners and people who live in the area to turn off all outside lights that aren't needed between midnight and 6 in the morning. So far, the majority of the public have been taking part, including the city's best- known and tallest buildings ： One and Two Liberty Place, the Comcast towers, and the BNY Mellon

Center. "We want to be part of the program in preserving the bird population," they said.

Twice a year ( from April 1 to May 31 , and from August 15 to November 15 ) , the lights on many of the city's buildings are turned off.

28. What does paragraph 1 center on about migrating birds?

A. The dangers they face.    B. The processes they experience.

C. The directions they take.    D. The barriers they overcome.

29. Which can replace the underlined word “disoriented" in paragraph 2?

A. Tired.    B. Blind.   C. Angry.     D. Lost.

30. What is most people's attitude to the program?

A. Tolerant.   B. Positive.  C. Disapproving.   D. Ambiguous.

31. What is the suitable title for the text?

A. Birds Meet Dangers While Migrating  B. Migrations Lead to Mass die-offs of Birds

C. Philadelphia Goes Dark to Protect Birds  D. Birds Migrate to Look for Better Conditions

D

In 2016 Japanese scientists found a kind of bacteria, which they called Ideonella sakainesis, could "eat” plastic.

The secret for Ideonella sakainesis is enzymes ( used by bacteria and other cells to make chemical changes happen. Il uses two enzymes to turn plastic into something it can eat. What's left over afterward could be used to make new plastic. One of them, called " PETase” , is the one that breaks down the plastic. Recently, scientists have figured out a way to make the bacteria eat plastic even faster. They did some chemical work with the enzyme PETase. They thought what they did would make it eat plastic even slower. However, they were surprised to find that the change made it eat 20% faster.

This is an important step, but it will still be a while before we will know if Ideonella sakainesis can really make a difference. Everything has to be just right for it to do its work. It can't be too hot or too cold. The scientists say they'll keep exploring to make it work in all kinds of conditions. Besides,  it only eats one kind of plastic called PET, which  is usually used for making bottles. But scientists think it is possible that there may be other kinds of bacteria that eat other kinds of plastic. They think that even if these bacteria don't already exist, they may come along soon. Bacteria can change their habits quickly, compared to bigger life forms.

Most plastic can already be recycled, and this is really just a new way to recycle it. However, as scientists warn seriously, Ideonella sakainesis' new function does not change the fact that only about 9% of plastics actually get recycled,  while the rest get thrown away. They also point out that harmful chemicals are added when plastic is made. If bacteria break down plastic in natural areas, those poisons will be given off, and could affect plants, animals, or humans.

32. How did the scientists find the fact that the bacteria eat plastic faster?

A. They made changes to PETase.    B. They added more PETase to plastic.

C. They mixed plastic's two enzymes.   D. They removed enzymes from plastic.

33. What do we know about Ideonella sakainesis from paragraph 3?

A. It breaks down some special kinds of plastic.

B. It eats plastic under demanding conditions.

C. It stops other bacteria possessing PETase.

D. It produces enzymes when eating plastic.

34. What do the scientists convey about plastic recycling in the last paragraph?

A. They are confident to do it.     B. It's hard to recycle plastic.

C. Its situation worries them.      D. It has been well done so far.

35. What's the author's purpose in writing the text?

A. To advocate recycling plastic.     B. To praise scientists' hard work.

C. To show severe plastic pollution.    D. To introduce a new discovery.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Sleep is clearly important for our health, helping our bodies function at their best. 36     Some new research suggests that sleep does have positive social consequences.

Sleep helps us to be kinder to others. When we sleep poorly, the parts of our brain devoted to mercy don't function as well. In one study, college-aged participants kept track of their sleep quality for two weeks and then performed a task while having their brains scanned. 37    .  

Sleep helps us approach others and avoid loneliness. It's been long known that loneliness is associated with poor sleep. Can poor sleep lead to loneliness? In a recent study, researchers scanned people's brains after they slept normally or had a night of sleep deprivation （录夺）.

38       Participants were asked to watch videos of a stranger approaching them from a distance and to push a button when they felt the stranger was too close. 39     When participants had suffered abnormal sleep, they wanted the person to stop at a much greater distance than they did after a night of normal sleep, and their brains reflected a particular pattern.

40     A recent study suggests it is true. Participants who were randomly assigned （分配）to keep or restrict their sleep over two days were then asked to do a difficult task while listening to very disgusting noise bound to make them annoyed. Those who'd restricted their sleep became much angrier during the task, compared to those who'd had normal sleep.

A. Sleep helps us to be less angry and aggressive.

B. They wanted to see how they would react to strangers.

C. Did the poorly slept participants report feeling lonelier?

D. Sleep makes a person not be angry and make more friends.

E. But does getting a good night's sleep affect our relationships, too?

F. Meanwhile, the researchers observed what was happening in their brains.

G. Those who'd reported better sleep felt much more sympathy for people in trouble.
